Objective Even after successful surgical repair,patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are at high risk of long-term morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events,which is probably related to persistent arterial disfunction during long-terr follow-up after operation,The aim of the study was to explore the alterations of vascular structure and function in children with successfully repaired CoA in the short-and mid-term follow-up.Methods A cohort of 20 children who underwent CoA repair between January 2010 and October 2010 in Guangzhou women and children's Medical Center was studied.There were 14 males and 6 females in CoA group,which comprised 6 patients with isolated CoA,14 patients with CoA associated with intracardia anomalies,whose median age of operation was 4 months (rang from lmonth to 10.0 years).And 20 patients with isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD) were included as VSD group during the same time,with 12 males and 8 females,whose median age of operation was 5 months (rang from 1 month to 12.0 years).Resting blood pressure,flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery,carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were compared in CoA group and VSD group,including preoperative media data and follow-up of 1 month,6 months and 1 year.In addition,as comparison to the operation group,20 health children with normal echocardiographic findings,whose median age was 5 months (rang from 3 month to 10.0 years),were selected as health group for the 1-year following up.None of them had obesity,hyperlipidemia,diabetes mellitus,metabolic diseases or systemic inflammatory disease.Results As a result of the datas before operation and those I month,6 months and 1 year after operation,all children were normotensive at rest.In the same period,Carotid IMT in CoA group[(0.47 ± 0.10)mm,(0.49 ±0.10) mm,(0.57 ±0.07)mm,(0.61 ± 0.07) mm]was significantly thicker than that in VSD group[(0.41 ±0.11) mm,(0.43 ±0.11)mm,(0.51 ±0.08) mm,(0.55 ±0.08) mm](P<0.05) and health group[(0.40 ±0.09) mm,(0.42 ±0.11)mm,(0.50 ±0.08) mm,(0.57 ±0.08) mm](P <0.05),Brachial artery FMI in children with CoA[(5.4,6 ±1.51)%,(5.71 ±1.88)%,(5.42±1.69)%,(5.27±1.02)%]was significantly lower than that in the VSD control group[(6.69±1.45) %,(6.66±1.21)%,(6.81 ±1.03)%,(6.43±1.34)%](P<0.05) and health group[(6.59 ±1.84)%,(6.84±1.41)%,(6.91 ±1.31)%,(6.56±1.62)%](P<0.05).Significant difference could not be found in neither the IMT nor the FMI between the VSI control group and health group in 4 period respectively,P > 0.05.Conclusion Children after successful coarctation repair have abnomal structural and functional properties of the aorta above the place of coarctation even their blood pressure at rest is normal.These results confirm that the alterations in mechanical properties of carotid arteries as well as the generalized endothelial dysfunction in children with coarctation of the aorta are persistent,which can not be prevented or reversed by surgical repair,and which may partly explain the high incidence of cardiovascular disease observed in their adulthood and reduced life expectancy,furtherly supporting the claim that coartation of the aorta is a systemic vascular disorder which needs long-term follow-up of vascular function.

Objective To evaluate the endothelium-dependent vasodilation in children after repair for coarctation of aota (CoA). Methods A group of 20 children having undergone CoA repair between January 2010 and October 2010 in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center were include in the study , including 12 infants aged less than 6 months and 8 ones aged more than 6 months. Another 20 healthy children were enrolled during the same period as controls. All the subjects underwent monitoring of resting blood pressure and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in 4-year follow-up. Results There were no resting hypertension in all subjects , but FMD in the CoA group was higher than in the control group and so it was with the early surgery group and non early surgery group. Conclusion The surgical repair for coarctation of aorta could not cure the vascular function impairment satisfactorily , neither is the early surgery effective in alleviating the injuries in vascular endothelia.

Objective:To explore the differences on clinical characteristics, concomitant diseases and treatment status between psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and provide clues for the early diagnosis and treatment of PsA.Methods:Data were collected by in-person interview of 225 patients with psoriasis and 299 patients with PSA who visited the department of rheumatology and Immunology and Department of Dermatology in People′s Hospital of Peking University from November 2020 to May 2021. After informed consent, the questionnaire was completed on site. The differences of clinical characteristics, concomitant diseases, mental health evaluation and treatment status between patients with arthritis (PsA) and patients with psoriasiswere analyzed and compared. Enumeration data were described by frequency. Chi square test was used to compare categorical variables. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors. P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Dactylitis [ OR(95% CI)=8.439(4.677,15.226), P<0.001], hip pain [ OR(95% CI)=3.442(1.829,6.480), P<0.001], heel pain [ OR(95% CI)=2.621(1.652,4.157), P<0.001] and low back pain [ OR(95% CI)=1.924(1.156,3.203), P=0.012] may be closely related to the progression of PsA ( P<0.05). The three most common concomitant diseases of patients with PsA and psoriasis both were overweight [43.1%(129/299)、29.3%(66/225)], fatty liver [(28.4%(85/299)、23.1%(52/225)]and hypertension[24.1%(72/299、13.3%(30/225)]. The proportion of osteoporosis in PsA group at the age of 30-39 and 40-49 years old was significantly higher than those in psoriasis group (30-39 years old:12.5%(10/80) vs 1.5%(1/65), χ2=6.14, P=0.013; 40~49 years old: 19.2%(15/78) vs 2.0%(1/51), χ2=8.46, P=0.004]. The proportion of hypertension in PsA group was also higher than that in psoriasis group at the age of 40~49 years old[7.0% (21/78) vs 2.7%(6/51), χ2=4.99, P=0.026)]. And the proportion of fatty liver in PsA group was also higher than that in psoriasis group at the age ≥60 years old [(46.0%(23/50) vs 29.1(7/24), χ2=4.99, P=0.025)]. Among 299 PsA patients, 47.1%(141/299) had anxiety tendency, 45.2%(135/299) had sleep disorder and 41.8%(125/299) had depression tendency. Among 225 psoriasis patients, 44.4%(100/225) had anxiety tendency, 40%(90/225) had sleep disorder and 36.9%(83/225) had depression tendency, there was no significant difference in above-mentioned situations between the PsA and psoriasis patients ( P>0.05). Conclusion:More attention should be paid to the management of concomitant diseases and psychological intervention in patients with PsA. When psoriasis patients occur with heel pain, dactylitis, low back pain and hip pain, the risk of development into PsA should be considered.

Objective:To analyze the levels of T lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD4/CD8) in patients with paraquat poisoning, and to explore the relationship between the changes of T lymphocyte subsets and the prognosis of pulmonary fibrosis.Methods:In October 2019, a total of 47 patients with oral 20% paraquat low water solvent poisoning in Guangzhou 12th people's Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected as the research objects. Patients were divided into early death group (16 cases died within 2 weeks) and non early death group (31 cases survived more than 2 weeks) . The non early death group was divided into pulmonary fibrosis group (23 cases) and normal lung group (8 cases) . 20 healthy people in the same period were randomly selected as the control group. The neutrophils (N) , C reaction protein (CRP) , alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , creatinine (Cr) , amylase (aAMY) , creatine kinase isoenzyme (CKMB) , pH, HCO 3-, blood oxygen saturation (SO 2) and lactic acid (Lac) of patients poisoned within 3 d were examined every day. Independent sample t-test was used for inter group comparison, and paired sample t-test was used for intra group comparison. Results:Compared with non early death group, the levels of N, CRP, ALT, Cr, aAMY, CKMB and Lac in early death group increased ( P<0.05) , while pH and HCO 3- decreased ( P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the levels of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 were decreased on the first day in the early death group and non early death group ( P<0.05) , and the levels of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 were decreased on the 15th day in the pulmonary fibrosis group ( P<0.05) . Compared with the normal lung group, the levels of CD3, CD4 and CD4/CD8 in the pulmonary fibrosis group decreased on the 15th day ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The persistent low cellular immune function in patients with paraquat poisoning is related to the progress of pulmonary fibrosis, which is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients with pulmonary fibrosis.

Gap junctions mediate direct communication between cells; however, toxicological cascade triggered by nonessential metals can abrogate cellular signaling mediated by gap junctions. Although cadmium (Cd) is known to induce apoptosis in organs and tissues, the mechanisms that underlie gap junction activity in Cd-induced apoptosis in BRL 3A rat liver cells has yet to be established. In this study, we showed that Cd treatment decreased the cell index (a measure of cellular electrical impedance) in BRL 3A cells. Mechanistically, we found that Cd exposure decreased expression of connexin 43 (Cx43), increased expression of p-Cx43 and elevated intracellular free Ca2+ concentration, corresponding to a decrease in gap junctional intercellular communication. Gap junction blockage pretreatment with 18β-glycyrrhizic acid (GA) promoted Cd-induced apoptosis, involving changes in expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and the mitochondrial transmembrane electrical potential (Δψm). Additionally, GA was found to enhance ERK and p38 activation during Cd-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, but had no significant effect on JNK activation. Our results indicated the apoptosis-related proteins and the ERK and p38 signaling pathways may participate in gap junction blockage promoting Cd-induced apoptosis in BRL 3A cells.

Objective:To investigate the current status of emotional labor of nurses in standardized training period, and to analyze the relationship between emotional labor and emotional intelligence.Methods:From May to June 2020, 312 nurses in the standardized training period were selected as the research objects, which were investigated with general information questionnaire, Emotional Labor Scale and Emotional Intelligence Scale.Results:The total score of standardized training nurses' emotional labor was (52.27±10.18) points, and the total average score of items was (3.73±0.73) points. The average scores of the three dimensions from high to low: deep acting (4.62±0.86) points, expression of genuine emotion (3.62±0.99) points and surface acting (3.42±0.95) points. There was a correlation between emotional intelligence and emotional labor. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the emotional evaluation of others ( β value was -0.189, P<0.05) ( β value was -0.255, P<0.01). Self emotional assessment ( β value was 0.297, P<0.01) ( β value was 0.177, P<0.05). Self emotional assessment ( β value was 0.269, P<0.05), which had a positive predictive effect on emotional expression requirements. Conclusions:The emotional labor of nurses in standardized training period is at the medium level, and the deep acting score is the highest between three dimensions. Hospital managers could promote nurses to use appropriate emotional labor strategies by strengthening the cultivation of emotional intelligence during standardized training period.
